Chapter 4

All the brands Louisa endorsed immediately announced they were cutting ties with her.

Her upcoming drama was abruptly pulled from the lineup.

The movie she was filming also announced a recast for her role.

Once someone was down, everyone jumped in to kick them.

The movie queen, Louisa, who used to be on top of the world, was like a rat everyone wanted to stomp on overnight.

My phone rang again.

It was an unknown number.

I picked up, and on the other end was a tearful voice that sounded both familiar and distant. "Matilda, it's Mom..."

I stayed silent.
